Problem with e-mail?
 
I'm having crap wi me e-mail as wynonie can verify, Whats happening is i am getting me usual rubbish e-mails daily,yet a lass is trying to send me n e-mail using the correct addy yet it won't come, its definitely correct, cos me mate wynonie tried to send me one this afternoon, n i know hes got correct details, cos we send to each other fer yonks no problem, anyone explain what the score is, in terms a simpleton like me will grasp?

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Cashy, send the lass an email and get her to put it in her contacts list....then send you the email again.....you only need to have a minor mistake for the mail not to go.
If I want someone to email me...I email them first.....so that they can use my email to reply to.
If that doesn't work get the lass to send it to wynonie, and he can forward it to you.

Check your junk mail folder.

Margaret Pilkington 01-04-2014 21:34

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Sorry Cashy, thought it was just the lass who couldn't get the email to go.

For the missing email, sometimes legit emails get flagged as junk and put in there, but if you`ve already checked and it`s empty then thats obviously not the case.

What do you use, is it a web based email like Hotmail, or something like Microsoft outlook.

cashman 01-04-2014 22:17

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Nah it was wanadoo, which became freeserve, which became orange which is now owned by EE, have never consciously changed e-mail n never ever had a problem like this.:confused:

gpick24 01-04-2014 22:24

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Wanadoo is your provider, but how do you access your emails, is it through your internet browser or do you have a program installed to access them MS outlook or windows mail for example.
Just as a quick test, try sending an email to yourself.

cashman 01-04-2014 22:29

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
I acess through a page orange in me bookmarks always have. will try that,sending meself one, have just used wifes n sent meself n its come, but the thing was i could only put a subject, not a message, there was no place to put one??:confused:

cashman 01-04-2014 22:32

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Have just sent meself one n thats come ok?? crazy is this:eek:

gpick24 01-04-2014 22:35

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
I don`t think there are that many things you can do with web based email, if you have internet access you shouldn`t really have any problems. If your mrs is using the same kind of email without issue, then maybe the problem is at the other end and the person sending the email has the problem.

gpick24 01-04-2014 22:38

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Ask them to try sending themself an email, see if they receive it.

Could be a glitch like you say, emails can be a pain in the backside sometimes, wasn`t meaning they`d got your email address wrong, just that it could be a glitch at their end, not yours.

Best advice is to get a new email with another service. Those free ones are usually crap anyways

Dont really want to ta restless, have had it fer oer 12 yrs wi no problems.plus mates all oer world contact me through it, i'm certain i would forget to notify someone of the change,:eek:if it continues acting the goat, then i will take on board.

Restless 02-04-2014 10:38

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Yeah i do understand the pains of a long used email... Easy solution(if your contacts are organised) to that is to click all and send a 'this is my new email ' email. I've never liked those ISP email services. I've used Google for years. Their web based email gets better all the time.

Did you do this Cashman, I still think problem could be at their side, ask them to check their outbox, mails could be in there still waiting to be sent.

Wynonie Harris 02-04-2014 11:08

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Checked, no emails waiting to be sent. Emailed other people ok.

Are there any attachments on email?

Just to be clear, no email coming from you or her but still coming from other people.
Do you know the size of the attachment and what kind of file it is?
Emails with certain file types attached will get blocked.

No idea, but why would my attachment-free email be blocked as well?

gpick24 02-04-2014 13:57

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
Not sure, email problems not my strong point really, just asking a few things hoping to stumble on what`s causing the problem, any kind of PC problem is difficult to troubleshoot when you aren`t actually there to see what`s going on.
Perhaps if it`s a large attachment, possibly sent a couple of times, it may be causing a bottleneck somewhere, doesn`t explain why other emails are coming through though (I take it they still are).

Are you still getting the emails that you don`t want?
Do you have emails in your deleted folder? If so, try deleting some/all of them.

When you send the email, do you get a message saying it`s not been delivered.

How do you know it failed? Are you getting a failure email back? If so copy and post the email but edit out any email addresses

Was that all, usually you get told an error code or something as well.

Cashy can you send emails to yourself ok?

Wynonie Harris 02-04-2014 17:50

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
There's something that says ATT00001

Does it sat att00001.dat

gpick24 02-04-2014 18:01

I've seen something similar before, can't quite remember. Something attaches a .dat files to emails (which will definitely get blocked). Are you sending from an iPad or iPhone?

gpick24 02-04-2014 18:10

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
A bit of info here - www.support.microsoft.com/kb/290809

Possibly the sender needs to change the email format to Rich Text or HTML

is your inbox full?, try deleting some unwanted messages

Is that just your inbox Cashman or deleted mail folder as well? Messages deleted from inbox go to deleted mail folder and still count towards your storage limit.
Also, just looking on here - Webmail - all you need to know about Orange webmail | Orange UK there is mention of a "block list" to prevent mail from certain people, worth checking they haven`t been added to that accidentally.

There's no mention of "dat" next to the code no. Failed messages have been sent from both an iPhone and an ordinary laptop.

it could be account hacking or malware, changing your password & security questions is advisable see Geekpolice Spamming from hotmail accounts.

I've had a problem with BT email last night. My login would not accept my password.and when I went on their website to change my password it would not accept my answer to my security question. I have had to contact BT chat this morning to rectify it.

BT have informed me there could be problems with BT Email up to 4 p.m. today as they are upgrading their website.

Is anyone apart from me having trouble with bt email today? I still cannot access my e mail

Margaret Pilkington 03-04-2014 20:17

Re: Problem with e-mail?
 
No Frank. I inwardly groaned when I read that you were with BT and having problems.
But I have been able to access my emails OK.
I know they are changing the website, because BT and Yahoo are having a parting of the ways. I now have a yahoo email addy.....as well as my BT one.
I am not planning on using it, but it is there if the need arises.
I hate it when they mess about wit something. It seems to me that they never make it easier.
